“New GTA 6 Trailer Drops Clever Red Dead Redemption Easter Egg, Hinting at Shared Universe with Rockstar’s Wild West Franchise”

Rockstar unveiled the second trailer for GTA 6 earlier this week, causing quite a stir in the gaming community. The trailer provided a captivating glimpse into the game, showcasing a plethora of exciting moments that quickly captured the attention of fans worldwide. From foamy beer to incredibly realistic mirrors, the trailer was brimming with impressive details that had the internet buzzing.

Eagle-eyed viewers have been discovering additional hidden gems within the trailer, with one intriguing find being the currency in GTA 6. Upon closer inspection during the strip club scenes, fans noticed that the money in the game features the faces of presidents from the lore of Red Dead Redemption 2. Notably, President Thaddeus Waxman and President Hardin, complete with their distinctive facial hair, can be spotted on the bills. This subtle nod suggests a potential connection between Rockstar’s iconic cowboy sagas and the high-octane world of car heists in GTA.

While Rockstar has previously included Easter eggs referencing Red Dead in GTA games, these hints typically positioned the games as fictional works within each other’s universes. For instance, in GTA 5, players can come across a vendor wearing a red T-shirt paying homage to Red Dead Redemption’s protagonist, John Marston. Furthermore, keen-eyed players may have noticed a book titled “Red Dead” authored by a J. Marston on bookshelves scattered throughout GTA 5.

Anticipation for GTA 6 continues to mount as the game is slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 26, 2026. The second trailer for the game made waves by amassing over 475 million views across various platforms within just 24 hours of its debut, earning it the title of the biggest video launch in history according to Rockstar. The developer confirmed that the trailer seamlessly blended gameplay and cutscenes, all of which were captured entirely in-game on a PS5, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the immersive world of GTA 6.
